"An Honest Entry" BGM from the episode "Leap of Faith" of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (S04E20).


--Overall Comments--

Flim and Flam return and are up to their usual shenanigans!  This time, they're selling a magical elixir that can cure all ills.  Applejack is skeptical, but when the tonic apparently gives Granny Smith a new lease on life, she isn't sure what is the truth.  However, she finds out it is a sham (big surprise), but is only faced with a greater dilemma: let Granny continue to believe the tonic is working, or tell the truth and potentially devastate her.  When Granny Smith gets a little too out-of-control with her new-found youthful feeling and attempts an insane stunt from her youth, Applejack knows she must "buck up" and tell the truth about the Flim Flam brothers' lie... and hers!

This was a fantastic Applejack episode by (slightly less of a newcomer now) Josh Haber, and one that actually deals with her element—honesty—directly.  So far this has been my favorite part of all the "key" episodes this season: the fact that they really challenge the characters and their elements, and even show them the "bad" side their elements can have.  Here, we have Applejack being put into a situation where telling the truth to Granny Smith about the fake tonic after she's gotten a new lease on life could devastate her.  But on the other hand, AJ of course is no fan of lying, and finds out first hand of it's consequences as it spirals out-of-control.  Like other "key" episodes, we also get a sort-of double lesson.  Applejack learns a new lesson about her element: that sometimes the truth can hurt, but most of the time it hurts less than the lie you use to cover it up.  In addition to AJ learning a lesson about honesty, she also inadvertently teaches it to another pony, with Silver Shill learning what it means to be honest, and the pain that lying can bring.  It's great to see all of the "key" episodes following this formula, as it really ties the season together while still keeping the episodes standing on their own.  Speaking of that... five down... ONE to go!

But no—That's not all!  We also have a new Flim Flam Bros. song!  And wow—it's actually been quite a few episodes since the last song this season...  This one is extremely similar in style and content to the last Flim Flam number, but still remains different and fun.  It's amazing how many different styles of songs we've had this season!  The BGM doesn't disappoint either, with some fun new tracks being used throughout the episode to complement some of the returning themes.  And speaking of returning themes... this is a "key" episode after all, so expect to hear the "Six Locks... Six Keys" motif!


--Track Specific Comments--

Here we have one of the standard lesson themes, this one utilizing the "My Little Pony Theme," which has been around since season one.  Like the other key episodes this season (with the exception of "Pinkie Pride"), the episode ends with the "Six Locks, Six Keys" motif, and a zoom in on the rainbow shimmering key.  It would almost be easy to leave this track out since it's been in the BGM collections a lot already, but for the sake of consistency with the rest of the key episodes, I've included it.  Plus, we haven't heard this lesson theme with the "Key" theme at the end yet—all of the other "key" episodes have used different lesson themes, each of which matched the character in some way, which is cool.
